Disclaimer: I don't own Jak and Daxter characters or the storyline they belong to Naughty Dog but I wish I did they're awesome and I do own myself and my mom well in the story not in real life.
I'm gunna go through how I'm going to write this ok.
Talking - Regular print
Thinking - Italics
Dark / Darka talking - Bold
Darka thinkign - Bold Italic
Light / Lighta talking – Bold Underline
Lighta thinking – Bold Italic Underline
"SCREAMING AND YELLING!" only if necessary.
Well there you have it that's how I'm going to write this so on with the story.
Just to let you know Darka and Lighta are Tak's Dark and Light sides or Dark Tak and Light Tak.
Light won't be talking or thinking as much as Lighta because well he really doesn't at all that much but I will let him talk from time to time. Lighta's POV is more important because we're seeing the story scene from her (Tak's) eyes so we'll hear her talking and thinking more just like its Tak, well it is but you know what I mean.
Chapter 1: Meeting
"Amanda!" Someone in a house called, "dinner is ready"
"Ok Mom!" A 16 year old girl with brown eyes and messy brunette hair said, "Just let me save my game!"
"You and your game," her mom said, "sometimes I wonder if you belong there more then here."
"Oh you're a nice parent" Amanda said and added under her breath, "So do I."
I was almost done Jak 3. I was fighting Erol, who was in the Dark Makers ship and she just had to interrupt it. I always had this little thing like I knew all of the areas in Haven like I was there before but how could I, it's just a game right? I have no memory of before I was 5 just a bright light, my mother says that there was a car accident. I hit my head pretty hard and got amnesia but the memories never came back to me, I always thought that the bright light was the car that came at us. My friends at school gave me the nickname Tak because I'm so obsessed with the game and I'm on the girl's football team at my school. I think it's a guy name but I really don't care, I'm a tom-boy anyway so it doesn't really matter. I'm the best tackler on the team so Tak is short for Tackler and it just stuck so that's what my friends call me.
I looked at the t.v. which still had the game screen on. Jak was just standing there with his gun pointed at me because I had it so he was looking at me; Daxter was just calmly standing on his shoulder. I had them go back to Spargus so they wouldn't get killed while I just sat there.
"I wish I could be with you guys" I whispered.
Later that night when everyone was asleep in the house, Amanda's TV started to glow a really light blue. Then something amazing happened, a light blue figure with long ears came out of it.
"Finally, She has been found" It said with a heavenly voice.
The heavenly being floated its way over to Amanda's bed. Looking at her with glowing eyes, it spoke in an unknown language, well at least to Amanda's planet, Earth. Next thing that happens, a blue light engulfs the room and everything disappears.
I woke up when I felt that I wasn't covered by blankets to also find myself floating in blue light with sparks of energy all around me.
"Is it just me or does this look familiar in some sort of way?" I thought, "Holy crap this is just like the rift ring in the Jak series!"
"OH MY GOD I THINK IM GUNNA FAINT!!" I Shouted
Next thing I know is well nothing because I blacked out.
"Wake up and open your eyes young one." A voice said in my head.
I carefully opened one of my eyes and the other shot open after it, my mouth hanging open. I was in Haven City on Planet Guerra, Home of Jak and Daxter.
"Oh my god! Oh My God! OH MY GOD!!" I shouted, "I'm in Haven City!
"You're in a restricted sector," A voice said behind me, "Leave at once or be taken prisoner."
"Oh Joy, I'm here for ten minutes and I'm already caught by a Freedom League Guard," I thought, "My day can't get any worse."
"Oh yeah!" I said turning around, "make me"
It just got worse; it was a Freedom League Captain, one that's tougher than normal Guards.
"Do not make me use force," The Captain said sternly.
"Oh, I'll show you force!" I said raising my fist.
I went to punch him in the face; it hit the mark spot on. Good thing I took karate lessons when I was in grade 8.
"I have a female fighter in sector 4," The Captain said into his radio.
"Bring her to me at once" A voice said on the other end.
"Roger that," The Captain replied, "Count Vegar wants to see you little girl."
Now that tipped me over the edge. I knew I was small but I was sure as hell wasn't as weak as I looked. Three years of football helped me build up my strength; I wasn't going down without a fight, that's what I thought anyway.
"Little! Who are you calling little?" I screamed, "Bring it on tough guy."
I motioned for him to come at me as I went into a fighting pose. He just stood there then started to smirk.
"Fine," He said as he raised his gun at me.
"Aw shit," I thought.
He fired his paralyzer at me, knocking me unconscious from the shear force of the shock.
When I woke up I was in a chair, strapped to it actually in a very dark room with the only light right above me.
"Where the hell am I?!" I yelled.
"Goodness such language coming from a young women's mouth" Count Vegar said coming out of the shadows.
"Shut up Vulgar!" I said purposely
I always wanted to piss him off by saying his name wrong; when Dax does it is just so amusing.
"It's Vegar you stupid girl" He said getting agitated.
"Whatever" I murmured rolling my eyes.
"So women what is your name?" He asked.
"It's Amanda but my friends call me Tak short for Tackler," I replied while smirking.
"Tak eh!" He said lifting an eyebrow "sounds like someone else's name I know."
"Yeah whatever like I give a crap about what you know" I hissed spitting on his face then looking away.
I knew fully well who he was talking about, how couldn't I? The owner of the name is like my hero for god's sake.
I was taken from my thoughts when I felt a sudden pain on my left cheek; Vegar had just slapped me really hard.
"That's gunna bruise," I thought as tears formed in my eyes.
"You are going to have the same fate as him for such disrespect." Vegar said angrily as he wiped my spit off his face.
"That's fine with me," I said still feeling the sting from the slap.
It was a long trip on the hover ship. I was in my own cell room after Vegar found out that I had almost won against the guard that I first met. I was playing with my ears to pass time since they had grown so they weren't small and rounded anymore but were long and pointed like the ears that the humans have on this planet when we stopped abruptly making me slam against the side.
"Ouch!" I muttered getting up while rubbing my head were a bump was forming.
I was getting hurt a lot today. First the Captain shot me then Vegar slapped me which yes I was right is bruising as I first thought then my head gets slammed into a hover ship cell wall.
"Yay! I'll get to see Jak soon," I thought, "then again I'll be stuck in the middle of a desert."
A long blonde haired person in handcuffs was lead from the hover ship by two Guards while a red head women and Vegar, followed but stopped when they stepped onto the desert sand.
"By order of the Grand Council of Haven City, for heinous acts and crimes against the people, you are here by banished to the wasteland for life!" Vegar read from his little book.
"This is a death sentence Vegar" Ashelin said stepping in, "there must be another way?
"Your protest was overruled!" Vegar said, "this dark eco freak is dangerous!"
"Now drop the cargo!" He ordered the guards around him.
"This is an outrage!" Pecker said flying in, "I am outraged beyond words."
"Although I do have something to say," He continued, "not everyone agrees with this ridiculous …arkk…decree."
"Yeah, we want a recount," Daxter said jumping in front of Pecker.
"Oh I see you wish to join him," Vegar said narrowing his eyes.
"Actually we are not that outraged," Pecker said hiding behind Dax.
"Farewell Jak" He said as he waved, "stay out of the sun….drink lots of water… if you can find it."
"Jak?" Daxter asked ears dropping.
"Go back to the city Dax," Jak said as he looked away.
"I'm sorry, the council is to powerful," Ashelin said taking off Jak's handcuffs, "there was nothing I…"
"I know," Jak said meekly cutting her off.
"You just stay alive, you hear me?" She said handing him a beacon, "that's an order! Someone will find you I promise."
"May the Precursors have mercy on you," Vegar said as the hover ship lifted off the ground a little, "Oh which reminds me you'll have a companion so you won't be lonely when you die."
"What!" Jak said.
"Vegar, Jak was the only one we were to drop off here in the wasteland" Ashelin said walking up to him.
"Bring out the girl!" He commanded a guard.
"What, a girl? We can't leave a girl out here Vegar!" She said, "She hasn't even done anything wrong from what I'm aware of."
Within a few minutes the guard came back with me kicking and screaming and with a new friend, Mr. Black eye.
"Vegar I swear I will hunt you down and kill you!" I yelled.
"We shall see about that." He said smirking, "toss her out!"
"Vegar you are a mad man," Ashelin said as they took off.
Thud, I hit the ground.
I lay there as Jak walked over and looked down at me.
"You ok kid?" He asked.
"Perfectly fine thanks, I just fell out of a hover ship but other than that I'm fine" I said getting up, "I can take care of myself."
"You have some attitude there kid," He then asked, "What's your name?"
"Ok but number one; I'M NOT A KID!" I said then pointed to where the hover ship had just taken off. "Number two; take a look over there first Jak."
When the dust had settled a little there were outlines of two small shapes. One was skinny and looked like a rat while the other looked more like a bird.
"Daxter?!" Jak asked.
"Don't thank me," Dax said, "I'm only here because you wouldn't last a second without me."
I snorted and rolled my eyes while I listened to Daxter's little heroic speech.
"Hey! Who's the babe?" He asked looking at me
Yet another chance to roll my eyes, I knew I wasn't that good looking so I just took it as the heat of the sun was already getting to that little brain of his. Jak just stood there with Dax on his shoulder pad staring at me.
"I don't know yet but she knew you were here before the dust had even settled," Jak said. "So are you gunna to tell us who you are and how you know me?"
"Ok! First; the name's Amanda but you can call me Tak short for Tackler." I said then continued after that information had sunk in, "Second; I know you because you're so famous in Haven because you defeated the Metal Head Leader, Krew and Praxis with such ease so why wouldn't I know you?"
I was telling them that I had lived in Haven so they didn't think I was some freak telling them that I was from a different planet far, far away and I knew about them from a popular video game series. I also cut out that I was just some teen that had gotten on Vegar's nerves and was sent to the wasteland to die. I would tell them the last one eventually.
"Wow Jak didn't know you were that famous back in the city," Dax said, "Hey her nickname sounds like yours."
"Yeah, neither did I," Jak said, "but why Tackler for a nickname?"
"Oh you'll find out eventually" I said giving a small wink.
"I for one like the girl," Daxter said with that perverted smile on his face.
"On the other hand I don't really like you," I said getting mad, "You're so annoying talking on and on about your magnificent adventures when you're the hero and Jak's your sidekick but it's the other way around and you're the one that's cowering in fear whenever you see a metal head."
"Oh and try to keep your stories straight," I continued, "you say your fighting five metal heads in the beginning then it goes to ten surrounding you and when your done you say that there are twenty less metal heads in the world."
I put my hand to my head, I was starting to get a big headache but I've never gotten headaches before.
"Man my head feels like its going to explode," I thought, "am I already getting dehydrated?"
"Oh yea I like her too," Jak said smirking but then it fell when he saw me put my hand to my head, "You ok there Tak?"
"Yea but does your head feel likes its gunna explode?" I asked, "Because mine does."
"No but I've had the feeling before, right before I changed," He replied.
"You mean when you turn into that dark eco monster?" I asked still holding my head a little.
"It's not a monster just my dark alter ego," Jak said looking away, "You weren't tested in the DWP were you?"
"Not that I'm aware of," I said, "but I have no memory of before I was 5 so maybe it was then but I don't think so because nothing has ever happened, I've never changed or felt like this"
I let go of my head, it was feeling a little better but it was still there. I lied yet again to him but I couldn't tell them about the other planet thing yet I probably never will.
"Well maybe it's just the heat getting to you because now I'm starting to feel like that," He said putting a hand to his head for a second.
"Yeah probably," I said.
"But how did you know about Daxter's stories?" He asked, "He only told them in the old Hip Hog."
"I was in one of the booths when he was telling them all" I said back yet again to lying saying I was there and cutting out that I actually saw it from a video game, "do you even know the drinking age in that bar, its only 14."
"Hmm….I didn't see you in there but I guess its cause I never looked" He said, "I really don't like the drinking age if that's it, kids shouldn't be drinking."
"I'm not a kid!" I declared yet again telling him that I wasn't a kid, "And I'm 16 only a year younger than you."
"Ok I get that you're not a kid" Jak said, "How do you know how old I am?"
"Geez you really don't know how famous you were in that city" I said rolling my eyes in an amused way, "Everyone knew about the 17 year old teenager that defeated the Metal Head Leader."
"Wow everyone knew about that right after I defeat Metal Kor?" Jak said.
"Yup word spreads fast in that city, you were the hero of the city till they found out about your connection with Fat Man Krew," I announced shaking my head. "You got him the key to the Underport so he could let the Metal Heads in."
"That wasn't my fault" He said stepping closer to me, "I didn't know he would use the Ruby key for anything, I just thought it was one of his precious art pieces again."
"Yea I understand" I said smiling, "I knew you didn't mean for that to happen."
Daxter, who had been gaping at what I had said about him, snapped out of it.
"Jak I think we have a new companion," He said then whispered into his accomplice's ear, "I also think she likes you"
"Oh can I stay with you Jak?" I asked.
Putting on the puppy dog pout face which failed miserably, I could never do that one face. I also didn't hear what Daxter had said into Jak's ear.
Although Jak didn't seem to noticed the failed attempt which was probably a good thing.
"Sure why not," Jak said looking around, "We should stick together in this place anyway."
"Jak I was just kidding," Dax whined, "I wasn't being serious about her staying with us only the other thing"
"What was that ottsel?" I asked my hands forming fists, "What other thing?"
"Nothing," He said straightening and smiling innocently
"Ha see you're a big chicken even when it comes to women," I said letting my hands go loose again and started to smile.
"I would hardly consider you a woman" Dax mumbled.
I lost my smile and sent him a death glare which he noticed and went to Jak's other shoulder to hide from it. Jak, who had been just standing there thinking about something, noticed the shift in weight and snapped out of his thoughts.
"I think she'll be a good person to have around," Jak thought. "She probably fights well if she's out here in the wasteland."
"Ok tough guy you got us into this mess, now your gunna get us out," Daxter said jumping off his shoulder.
"Ah what a team we'll make," Pecker said talking for the first time.
We all looked down totally forgetting that the monkaw was even there with us.
"Let's get moving but which way?" Jak said looking around.
Desert surrounded us on all sides.
"That way," Dax and Pecker said in unison but pointed in different directions.
"Oh and I suppose you know where you're going eh!" Pecker yelled at Dax getting pissed.
"Better than you bent beak!" Daxter yelled back getting pissed too.
"Arg! Why don't we go toward the mountain over there," I said pointing over to a mountain I had noticed because I wasn't planning on hearing Dax and Pecker continue their little argument, "So we can get a better view of our surroundings."
"Good idea Tak," Jak said.
"Thanks" I said as I smiled from the praise
"Let's Move" Jak ordered beckoning us to follow him.
(A/n: I'm going to skip the flashbacks because they will take to long.)
We were almost at the mountain when Jak fell onto his back out of exhaustion.
"Right good idea pal," Daxter said, "a nap would be nice, just a tiny little rest."
As he pointed his paw into the air he fell to the ground just a little farther ahead of Jak.
"This bird is overcooked," Pecker cried out as his wings stopped flapping and he fell to the ground as well.
"No! Guys you have to get up or you'll die!" I shouted.
"Come on Jak please get up," I said shaking him while tears fell of my face and onto his tunic, "come on."
I had seen this part millions of times but just to have it happen while you were there was just to hard to take.
"Please Jak get u…" I couldn't finish my sentence as I fell on top of Jak exhausted and dehydrated.
What I didn't notice before I blacked out was that the beacon Ashelin had given Jak before she left was in his hand and it was blinking.
"Looks like we found some live ones." A man with staff said to a very fat man next to him as they found us lying there in the sand.
He hit Jak's hand revealing the beacon to the man's eyes which widened when he saw it.
"Here's the beacon we were picking up," he said picking it up.
"Who gave you this?" The man asked Jak as he grabbed his tunic but he just laid there his pupils rolling to the back of their sockets.
"Let's take them back with us" He said while looking around at the desert, "I smell a storm coming!"
Me: Well I gotta go write the next chappy so Buh bye
Next time on Enter The Game: The group of three meet the king of the city that they awoke in but who is he? Jak and Daxter have to face a challenge whatever it is? What happens to Tak?
